Hey Misfiteers! Leigh Ann here. I'm so excited for my first Pep Rally Monday!
It's hard to top the awesomeness of alllll the PRMs that have come before this one, and for a couple weeks now I've been waffling over what question to ask. Then, as these things often do, it hit me in a completely different context last week.
I work at The Ohio State University, and one of the perks is getting to tour the awesome art exhibits at the Wexner Center on campus free of charge, with one of the educational staff as a guide. This season, there's an Annie Liebovitz show, and it's just stunning. Ms. Liebovitz made her fame and fortune photographing people, and she does an incredible job of capturing them.
But what really grabbed me about this show was a series she'd done called "Pilgrimage." She couldn't photograph Sigmund Freud, Virginia Woolf, Emily Dickinson, Annie Oakley, and so many others, but she COULD photograph their stuff. I thought this series was cool, until I saw one photograph that totally stunned me:
That's the journal of Branson Alcott, and the outline of the bigger hand is his. Inside it, the outline of the little hand? That's Louisa May Alcott's. Little Women is one of the first books I ever read all on my own, tucked into bed and lost the the world of those four March sisters - especially writing-obsessed Jo.
All I could think when I saw that handprint was that it belonged to a little girl who would grow to be one of the greatest American authors of all time, and I seriously started crying.
Yep. I'm a total Lousia May Alcott fangirl. Just seeing her STUFF, the evidence that she lived and breathed, makes me emotional.
So, I want to know. Which authors do you fangirl/fanboy over? And what makes you all choked up? A certain scene they wrote? Hearing them talk about their process? Seeing a signed copy of your favorite novel they wrote?

Pep Rally Monday - Who Do You Fangirl/Fanboy Over?

I dragged my friends across Dublin, on foot, when I found out there was a W.B. Yeats exhibit at the National Library. They quietly rested on benches as I ran around the exhibit, loving every moment. :)

I admire Annie Leibovitz so much! Her photos are always so stunning! I dragged my friend to a Margaret Atwood event recently and it was amazing.

Oh I love this! There's something so special about seeing old manuscripts (and I don't just say that as a historian obviously ;) ) I loved some of the manuscripts in the British Library a few years ago. Shakespeare! (Fangirl, ABSOLUTELY!) The first page of Kazuo Ishiguro's NEVER LET ME GO. Chaucer! I don't often fangirl authors themselves, but I get very excited about those sparks :)

Looking for a new kitty to add to your family? WTVC hosts adoptable cats from Dane County Friends of Ferals! Adoptable cats call our front lobby "home," but are allowed to roam freely throughout the clinic to exercise, socialize, and explore each day as well.
Lady Amarillo
Say hello to Lady Amarillo- named for her big, yellow eyes! Lady Amarillo came to us from the Dane County Humane Society where she was surrendered. After seeing how overweight she was, which was causing perineal scalding on her backside, the staff at the humane society immediately thought of Dr. Lambrecht here at West Towne and his state of the art weight-loss practices. Lady Amarillo has already lost about 3lbs since arriving here, and it didn't take her long to adjust to her new surroundings in the cat gym. This little girl loves having her belly rubbed and standing on her hind legs trying to get someone to pet her! And what's that device strapped to Lady Amarillo's chest? It's a Heyrex! This will allow us to track her movement and activity levels during her weight loss journey to better assess how we can help Lady reach a more optimal body weight- almost like a Fitbit for pets! Lady Amarillo has been doing so well with her weight loss that we think it's time for her to find her forever home! Come take home this sweet lady today!
Kittens, Kittens, Kittens!
Greetings from the cutest furry little faces at West Towne Vet Center! Read below to learn more about our adoptable kittens Glinda, Elphaba, Jelly Bean, Jordy & Pickles. These little feline friends are very sociable, started on their initial vaccine series, deworming and they all tested negative for feline heartworm, FeLv & FIV. For more information please call us at 608-828-3737.
Pickles is a very outgoing little man! He loves to be picked up, snuggled and kissed.
Jelly Bean is a true sweetheart. He appreciates things at a slower pace but loves his head scratched once in your arms. This handsome guy also enjoys the fun toys in Bug's Cat Gym.
Glinda is the active one of the bunch. Her favorite activity is to run on the "fast cat exercise wheel". In fact, she doesn't even need encouragement- she just hops on and goes for a stroll. Visit our facebook page to watch her video!
Caring is Sharing!
Elphaba is your classic beauty! She also likes to be snuggled and will purr until she falls asleep in your arms.
Jordy is the best of both worlds! He likes to be held but also enjoys being adventurous. He and pickles just discovered there was a whole downstairs area at WTVC! They now like to go visit Karen in grooming.
Visit our Happy Tails page to read about our previous kittens/cats lives in their new fur-ever homes!

Community Concert for Ash this Saturday
22 Oct 2014 | Adam
A big thanks to Jorja Orreal at the Northside Chronicle for the front page coverage of Ash and the community concert this Saturday night, 25 October.
We've been collecting donations for Ash's speech therapy lessons all month and you can donate at the cafe during the week or at the concert. We've got a great night organised with a line up including Andrew Peacock, Innersense and John Keenan. The music kicks off at 6pm with a BBQ and drinks for sale.
Andrew will be selling his albums on the night, Between What's Yours (2004) and Mine and The Lights of Your Town (2013), for $20 each. For every sale, Andrew will donate $10 to Ash's speech therapy. This is a brilliant way to take home some amazing music and support Ash at the same time.
So grab a friend or five and make sure you're here on Saturday night. It's going to be great!

Interface Systems is located in a St. Louis, Missouri suburb called Earth City. They are qualified to provide services that protect people, data, and assets. They are one of the leading network providers of cloud-based network services and security systems for retail, homes, commercial, and small business customers. Their "bundles" of integrated services include some of the best equipment, including Honeywell, First Alert, and others. Their certifications have resulted in multiple UL-approved, 5-Diamond CSAA Certified Secure Operations Centers to monitor, manage, and support your home security system.
Security System Overview
- Wireless/Landline/Internet connection
- Various Honeywell, First Alert, and other brand keypads, based upon the distributor and installation setup.
- Window/Door Sensors
- Fire Protection
- Alarm and strobes
- Doors and Window Decals
Interface Systems got into the home security business through their SunTx Capital Partners. This move armed the company with new capital, allowing them to expand nationally while acquiring the ability to run secure monitoring stations, providing home security.
The interface has a unique service and product. Their secure wireless services, powered by Cisco and others, allows them to give security system users robust, unparalleled security through a network if the client elects to use the Internet to secure their wireless system.
The Good
Overall, we had a pretty good experience with Interface Systems. In this industry, we sometimes ran into the problem of not getting a quote or a price range if the prices were not advertised on the company website. However, we were given some pretty approximate quotes, some which were consistent with reviews found on the Internet. We liked the transparency of our phone-in. With other home security providers, we occasionally had to push to get a quote and an accurate picture of what a contract looked like with a company.
We also liked the customizability of the security setup. We found that we could add as many door/window sensors as we'd like. We also could integrate fire protection, wireless video, and other products and features with our home security system. We also found that there was the possibility of remote access to our home security system, something that is pretty standard in the industry.
We also liked Interface Systems robust monitoring centers. The monitoring centers were expanded with the capital deal Interface Systems made with SunTx. We found that many security providers had one monitoring station or outsourced their monitoring services to other centers. Combined with their networking capabilities as part of their network services, customers can be pretty much guaranteed uninterrupted uptime if their security system communicates with the monitoring center over the Internet.
The Bad
The customer complaints we read about on the City Search site raised our concern. One customer had the experience of not getting the equipment installed that was specified in the contract. Also, Interface would call in the middle of the night about system issues that were non-emergency in nature. When the customer complained about their experience to the management, they received a response in all red fonts.
Another customer wanted to cancel the monitoring system for her small business. Their cancellation of the contract, even after written documentation to the company, resulted in the account being sent to collections, hurting the customer's business reputation.
One customer that chose Interface Systems had several false alarms that resulted in sheriff's deputies arriving at their home. There was some miscommunication over appointments and the customer reported that the technician was rude and 30 minutes early when they showed up.
Also, we would like more transparency on the website about the home security systems offered through Interface Systems. We couldn't find information about contracts, pricing, and other issues that related to their home security products on the website, but this information was passed to us on the call-in.
The Bottom Line
Interface Systems has pretty good customer service, which we experienced first-hand during our call-in. Also, we liked the robustness of the company and the services that they provide.
Are there any inaccuracies in this review? We take our accuracy very seriously and would love your feedback. Give feedback here.
User Score00 people found this review helpful!After 13 years of service, I called Interface to cancel my service, which customer service was glad to do. Two weeks later, I received a bill for the balance of the 14th year of service, which according to the contract, the initial period was for 3 years and then renewed automatically each year thereafter. If customer service had told me that I would be paying for the full year, I would have left the service on. My business closed after 25 years and I would have been protecting an empty building. Now I am paying for a service that I am not getting.
User Score10 people found this review helpful!Alarm connection to station was not working for months. When I found out I called them and a tech was eventually sent out. He said all was now working but I set off alarm the next week and received no call from monitoring. I then called again and they ran some test, concluded the connection was bad, and said they would have to send the tech again but they would call to schedule by the next day. I waited 3 days then decided to checked the alarm box myself. The tech did not fully engage the phone line into the connector so I did it. I set off the alarm and now the monitoring station called, the system was working. I never heard back from them and now nearly 6 months later I get a letter saying they are going to disconnect my system and put me in collections for non-payment. First of all, I am on Auto-pay, they could have deducted it. Second, the service charge from the tech was never sent to me, pretty sure the phone assistant put it on hold when I called to complain that the tech job was incomplete. And third, they nor the tech ever called back as they were suppose to. Bottom line is their billing department screwed up as did their tech service and they send me a threatening letter. I just contacted them about this and the billing department woman was rude, short tempered, and yelled at me after I told her to check all the notes I had on file from my previous calls… she finally connected me to a very pleasant woman in customer service who apologized and said she will try to get to the bottom of what is going on then they will call me in a day or two… Holding my breath….
User Score00 people found this review helpful!I can sit here and type my whole, terrible experience with this company like others have here but I will save you the time by saying DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. THE SERVICES AND PRICES THEY OFFER ARE A SCAM.
They will seem very helpful in the beginning and LOCK you into a contract that you cannot cancel early from. As soon as you realize how bad they suck and not make a payment, THEY WILL SEND YOU TO COLLECTIONS.
Go with AT&T or Time Warner for these services. Way cheaper and better customer service.
User Score1
User Score00 people found this review helpful!We have had nothing but trouble with Interface. Their service is consistently terrible, not one of the techs we have had in the building seems to have a single idea what they're doing, and every time they come, they have a different reason for why the system is not working. Their phone representatives are usually very pleasant to talk to, but not usually very helpful. They also engage in the less-than-ideal practice of cold-transferring, which means that if you have to transfer departments during your call (which we always do), you have to basically start your call over because the new representative has none of your information.
Our system has alternated between going off with false alarms when nothing is wrong, and not going off when it should have. We also have in our contract that we are supposed to get a yearly inspection because we have a daycare in the building, and we recently had our first yearly inspection in three years. When brought to their attention, they said it was our responsibility to schedule the appointment, even though our contract says otherwise.

User Score01 people found this review helpful!I've had interface since 2014 inherited from a house purchase. I have had numerous problems most importantly with customer service, or more appropriately "what" customer service? I have been trying to get someone in their home Office (missouri) to contact me since 12/16 and have not heard a word yet. I have sent numerous emails, requests on their website, personal letters to the customer care account manager, all to no avail. The only correspondence I get from them is bills. They suck.
User Score00 people found this review helpful!One star is too high a rating for this outfit. Three times in the last 24 months my alarm at the labs has gone off and they never saw it. This last time I was gone on a three week trip and the alarms were tripped and we're going off for 13 days and they never saw it. And that is after I paid a premium to get a cellular backup to the hard line. And, their customer service is nonexistent. Save your money and get a real alarm monitoring service.
User Score00 people found this review helpful!Their systems do not work and then they charge you service charges. My company got burglarized and the motion sensor never went off while he was there. It went off when the police got inside, the night sweeper truck called the police, when the alarm company called the police was already there. All this was caught on surveillance and they still do not take responsibility and to top it off they charged me over 400 because techs went to check why the alarm never went off. They insist that nothing went wrong and my clock is wrong when all this is in video! To top it off they make 3 to 5 year contracts in which you have to call to cancel 2 months before. be careful with these thief! save yourself the money and the hassle.
User Score00 people found this review helpful!They Lie to get signed 5 year contract. ( First sales person introduced he is ADT sales person and middle of conversation he offer interface which he claim much better system…)
Alarm and Video Monitoring is not working properly. when we ask to fix it they don't follow up timely manner, actually never fixed problem. they send not trained 3rd party contractor to site without making appointment and charge without notify us ( we never signed service paper ) and without fixing problem. we ask so many times to fix the video monitoring system but they don't fix the problem but charge full monthly fee claim we sign the 5 year contact !!!!!!!
you are going to talk to only AP person. not salesperson nor technical support person because only AP person will follow up on you. and they use very unprofessional collection agent to follow up also. I spend so much time to ask and explain and fight for wrongful charges. Now we have to deal with Law office….
Please never never use this company!!!!!!
User Score01 people found this review helpful!Our contract has 3 years written in and initialed by both my husband and a representative of this company. That long ago passed, but they are saying we owe for breaking the contract – which is not in effect – because we canceled our home phone service and do not want to pay their high price for wireless equipment. We can get it cheaper elsewhere. They do not always check when the alarm goes off, so what good are they anyway? I would not recommend them to my worst enemy.
User Score80 people found this review helpful!Have had Interface security system for 8 yrs. Have had only a couple of problems which were
quickly and completely resolved. The customer service has been very good. Our momthly
rate is less than $35 for 24 hr monitoring.
The 2 times we had a bad sensor (due to lightening strike) the price for technician to replace
was very reasonable.
Ours is a wired system as we had it installed when building new home.
Have recommended to friends who also are happy with this company and its products/service.
User Score00 people found this review helpful!Initially I was with The Greater Alarm Company since 2003 and it was switched to Interface Security in 2010. On April 2014, I switched phone service from ATT to Time Warner. After the switch, I tested the system with the monitoring department and they said that the alarm went through, but that I might experience occasional service disruption when going from analog to digital phone service. My system is the original one that came with the house, so it's over 10 years old. Over the last few months, my system began to warn me to check the phone connection. When I called Interface in November of 2016, they happened to mention that my house had no communication with a phone line since April 2014. The service technician came to the house and confirmed that there was no communication between my phone and the panel. He recommended upgrading my panel to the new Honeywell system and this would allow me to bypass the current phone line and allow for communication with Interface.
So my question is, "Why doesn't Interface know that my system is not communicating with them? Why do they keep charging me monthly monitoring fee when they aren't monitoring me? Shouldn't they know that there is a problem? Don't they test the system from their end? Does that mean that over the last 2-3 years, if my house caught fire or someone had broken in, Interface wouldn't even know that something was happening and would not have called the police or fire department?" I'm now arguing with them about getting a refund for services that I paid for and not received and I have been at this for two months. I finally sent a letter of cancellation, but I may be billed for 30 days after the cancellation notice, even though INTERFACE IS NOT ABLE TO MONITOR ME!
User Score03 people found this review helpful!I've been with Interface Security for about 7 years now. After fighting with my phone service provider for nearly 7 years we figured out that the noise I was hearing on my phone was feedback from the alarm system Interface Security Installed. I contacted Interface and they suggested upgrading to a cellular service. I did upgrade to the cellular service. The tech from Interface had me sign a certificate of installation and gave me a copy of the user guide and left. My next bill was a little higher I assumed from the cost of the installation. On the second month I called Interface and find out they signed a 5 year contract in my name with about $20- per month of extra fees and now they are refusing to remove the charges. This is after me paying for maintenance for nearly seven years and they never serviced or maintained my system. I would stay far away from this company.
User Score01 people found this review helpful!In November 2015, I received a notice stating Interface was no longer operating on a 2G network, that AT&T will no longer offer 2G and my system needed to be upgraded. When I called in November 2015, I was told I would have to pay a small fee of around $30.00, I refused. I had nothing to do with this issue, and did not feel I had to pay. For the next year, speaking to them off and on, it never changed. I have been an Interface customer for almost 10 years, and have their service for two homes. They still refuse to update without me paying the cost. 2G is ending 12/31/2016. I was told they would absorb the $30.00 if I signed an additional 3 year contract. I still have 2 years on a contract I wasn't even aware I had! I refused that offer. ( Apparently they put that in when I upgraded! and it was a 5 year, not 3 year!) But then they said I could cancel. I agreed. THEN, I got a letter stating I would not be able to cancel without paying the rest of the contract, I will not have wireless service, so I do not feel I have to pay the contract for wireless service. It is constant battle with the customer service department, and I requested a supervisor call, and I am still waiting for that call. (I initially requested the supervisor call in November 2015). Customer service always claimed I had been told things I had not been told. I told them since the telephone sessions were recorded, I would like a copy of the recordings, to prove I had not been told. Watch this company! And, just for the record, I have had many alarm issues in the past, with false alarms going off all night. They refused to send someone to my home one day, and into the night, to deal with an alarm issue until the fire department called them after their third trip to my house in a two hour period and told them to get it fixed. Someone came at 5:30 am to work on the system. The issue could have been resolved the day before when the alarm first started going.

User Score03 people found this review helpful!I have had Interface service for 6 years. I inherited it from my home's previous owner. I do not turn on the alarm and want to cancel the service. I am told that is not possible as I have a contract that requires a yearly commitment. After 6 years, I think I should have the ability to cancel at will. Customer service was totally unable to provide me with any path to resolve my issue. Would love to know if anyone else has found a way to circumvent this problem.

These useful numbers (UN) can be readily found by accessing the bottom right-hand corner (BRHC) of each page. Each page has been pre-allotted its own number (ON) on a strictly sequential basis. For a full trouble-shooting guide to UN on BRHC of NIM, consult your dealer.
WARNING: the page-numbering process does not begin on the cover or inside cover, both of which have been left blank for your convenience. The numbering process begins on the third page, which is numbered one ("1") and continues through the fourth page ("2") and fifth page ("3"), right through to the twenty-second page ("20").
IMPORTANT: neither the inside back cover nor back cover (respectively, pages "23" and "24") are numbered.
NOTE: before exploring pagination, it is important to read the section "How to turn the pages of your new instruction manual".
How to turn the pages of your New Instruction Manual
Turning the pages of your NIM has never been easier. They can be turned both front-to-back (FTB) or back-to-front (BTF).
WARNING: do not attempt both these procedures at the same time. For more advice on developing a systematic approach to the standard procedure for page-turning (DASPPT), see Fig A.
Note to Fig A. (i) is owner's thumb; (ii) is owner's forefinger. (i) and (ii) are located at the end of owner's right hand (iii). (iv) is the page to be turned.
1) Select (iv)
2) Place (i) on the upper side of (iv)
3) Place (ii) on the lower side of (iv)
4) Squeeze (i) and (ii) gently together (IMPORTANT: to avoid damage to page, do not apply undue pressure). Move (iii) six inches (15 cm) in a leftward direction before releasing (i) and (ii), having successfully completed the turning (iv).
ADDITIONAL WARNING: the page is highly inflammable. Do not place the page you wish to turn, or any other pages, beside a cigarette, pipe, gas-burner, electrical charger, hob, candle or flame-thrower. For a full list of items that may fatally endanger (FE) your full enjoyment of your instruction manual, turn immediately to page 18 (located on the 20th page).
When your New Instruction Manual catches fire
In the unlikely event of your NIM catching fire, take the following steps:
i) Fetch a bucket
ii) Turn on a tap
iii) Fill the bucket with water
iv) Transport the water-filled bucket to a position above your new instruction manual
v) Pour bucket of water over your new instruction manual.
IMPORTANT: for further information, turn to SECTION 39b, "Turning on a tap", and SECTION 73a, "Enjoying your new bucket". Additional leaflet 7331BX, "Job Opportunities in the Fire Services", may be obtained from HMSO.
Selecting a language
Your new instruction manual (NIM) offers you a varied choice of language opportunities to access to enable you to further your comprehension.
Q. How do I select the language best suited to my needs?
A. When consulting your NIM, it is important to select those sections of the manual written in a language with which you are familiar. If you select those sections written in a language with which you are unfamiliar, this may ruin your enjoyment of your NIM. Those seeking to acquire a foreign language should enrol in a college of further education for a two-year course before embarking on unfamiliar sections of their NIM.
Connecting loudspeakers to your New Instruction Manual
It is inadvisable to connect loudspeakers to your NIM. Your NIM is a booklet and, as such, is not wired for electricity. It is only paper, so no sound will come from it.
If you hear a sound coming from your New Instruction Manual
The sound is likely to be coming from a radio or television positioned nearby. If it is more of a "dripping" noise, it is likely to be emerging from a tap in the cloakroom or kitchen. (See above: How to turn off a tap).
Troubleshooting Problem: this operating guide to my new instruction manual is far too long and complicated for me to understand. What can I do?
Solution: consult our new booklet, Y our Operating Guide to your Instruction Manual Made Simpler - an Owner's Handbook.

Hungarian Jewish genealogy research: Some records from a record book, names and dates should be enough for us to start our genealogical research. The results largely depend on the punctuality of these data.
The research process of your Hungarian roots is the following: Once you entrust us with the search, we start with the generations closer to you and we start stepping back generation by generation. During the work we may turn to you with additional questions that may arise and give you constant feedback. And of course, once we have reached the farthest possible ancestor, we can start mapping the family tree, or try to find new relatives and cousins. We do Hungarian Jewish ancestry research as we would for ourselves and our enthusiasm is the key driving factor in our company.
We also have been doing heir and probate research in Hungary for quite a long time for various UK, Canadian, Australian, Israeli and US authorities and companies.
On our website of Hungarian Jewish Tours you can find services that are really unique thanks to our knowledge about Hungarian Jewish history, the knowledge of famous communities and places of interests.
You may as well be willing to have your ancestrial documents translated. We are a professional Hungarian Translator of documents in any of these languages: Hungarian, English, Russian, Yiddish-, Hebrew, German.
How much do we charge for ours services? When we work for you, you would pay for the time, energy, telephone and travel expenses invested by us in the research and not for the results. Results in genealogical research are not something you can plan or predict.
It might happen that we find anything you want within some days with low expenses, and in some extreme cases (registry books burnt, stolen) we will have to work very hard with high expenses to find any useful information for you. But if you have some good starting information or data, the chances for us to be very successful are really high. Please get in touch with us to get a personalized offer.

Dinner & Discussion
06:00 pm - 07:30 pm
More and more people today are choosing to preplan their own or a loved one's funeral as an alternative to having others make the decisions for them. Three fundamental benefits of planning a funeral in advance are: •The peace of mind that comes with knowing your wishes have been made known and the details taken care of. •The comfort of knowing your family will not have to make funeral arrangement decisions during the difficult time of their initial grief. •Assurance that informed, thoughtful decisions have been made about the funeral home provider, choice of service and costs. Advance planning or prefunding your funeral can be an important part of estate planning or preparing to apply for Medicaid or SSI benefits. Whether you need additional information, simply want to document your wishes without paying or to arrange and prefund your funeral, Anderson Funeral Homes is ready to provide assistance. We are committed to explaining your options, thus allowing you to determine the most appropriate decisions for your situation.

text: Giving Societies The SoutheastHEALTH Ambassadors are a volunteer group of devoted community members who support the goals of the SoutheastHEALTH Foundation, especially in the area of cardiology. Their objective is to provide community outreach to educate residents about the prevention and treatment of heart disease and the importance of responding properly and quickly when symptoms of heart attack occur. SoutheastHEALTH physicians Steven Carr, MD and Chizor Iwuchukwu, MD, serve as physician champions to the Ambassadors. As one of its many programs to support heart health, this fund finances the annual distribution of free AED devices and CPR kits to area schools, churches and other non-profit organizations. Recipients are chosen through an annual grant program. Kyle Thompson, Ambassador Board Chairman, notes that sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any age. "An AED is the only effective treatment for restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest and it is an easy-to-operate device for someone with no medical background. For this reason, the Ambassadors see the distribution of AEDs in the community as a worthy mission," he added.

Return of a development role for Africa's mediaSubmitted by Guy Berger on Thu, 11/18/2010 - 15:31.
A flurry of private newspapers emerged in Africa around 1990, in reaction to the bad effects of state control. They focused on a democratisation role as primary.
Left to the side was the idea of playing a development role. The political kingdom had to be democratised as a precondition to ending the misdevelopment of the political despots. The very notion of "development journalism" added to this emphasis. Patently, authoritarian governments and top-down messaging had failed to deliver "development".

What's an independent publisher to do?
Everything you can!
As an author with an independently-published trilogy releasing in the fall, I am the only one promoting this product. Sure, I'll Evite everyone on my email lists. I'll post it on my Facebook, Twitter & Blog. And I have arranged with a local and very popular restaurant to host my release signings.
Think I've done enough? I haven't even scratched the surface!
I am grabbing every opportunity that comes my way to get my name out into the "big world" in any manner possible-as long as it's connected to books or writing, I'm there.
And by every opportunity, I mean every opportunity:
I'm reviewing books on The Pen & Muse. They will, in turn, review me. And everyone who is a fan of the site, or a fan of the author I review, will see my name with a link to my website. Will they click through? Some will.
I am also reviewing book trailers here on 1st Turning Point. Again, my name gets out there. And I see what other authors are doing, which is really good information. No author can publish in a vacuum; we must be aware!
And as for book trailers, I am teaching how-to classes on Savvy Authors (and getting paid). My classes have been well-received and they always fill up. And I create positive relationships with the author students.
I mentioned my blog. I am posting twice a week, and none of the posts are about me. A successful blog must offer something to the world. I just spent 8 weeks writing about the future of publishing. I asked prominent bloggers to chime in, and I linked to them. I mentioned sites such as Romance Novel Covers, Apex Reviews and BookTour.com-and I let them know!
On August 4th at 7:00 pm, I'm going to be on a cable-access author show "Meet the Writers LIVE" in Tucson, AZ. Will anyone see it? I don't know. But afterwards, I'll post the video on my YouTube Channel and spread the link through all my Facebook friends, Twitter, Blog, email, RWA (Romance Writers of America) chapter loops, and other Yahoo groups. I'm betting THEN someone will see it!
Not everything I'm doing is virtual: I'm teaching two author workshops at Borders Bookstore in Scottsdale, AZ-one on July 28th on Independent Publishing (are you surprised?) and one on September 8th on Starting a Fiction Writing Career. And I'll be signing and selling books while I'm there!
Not every opportunity is about me: I'm planning a Romance Reader Event (exact title TBD) for June 3, 2011-to happen on the "off" years from my local writer chapter's Desert Dreams Conference. I will pull together the Desert Rose Chapter, Valley of the Sun Chapter and the Tucson Chapter in this collaborative effort. This event, and its future, will be good for ALL of us!
Last, but probably one of the most important things I've done: I've created and launched Goodnight Publishing. This brand-new business model is designed to enable aspiring independent authors to present their product to readers with legitimacy. With quality. With a trademark, a publisher's website, and other authors backing them up!

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
On a baking sheet with sides, add the chicken thighs, olive oil, ground coriander and salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to coat. Roast the chicken in the oven until cooked through, about 30 minutes, and an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh.
Meanwhile, in a large, deep saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the onions, garlic, ginger and a sprinkling of salt. Saute until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the tandoori masala powder and saute a couple minutes until you can really smell the spices. Don't let the onions brown or stick to the bottom of the pot. Stir in the tomato sauce, molasses, lemon juice, vinegar and brown sugar. Simmer until thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and stir in the chopped cilantro. (Sauce can be made a day ahead and reheated to serve.) If the sauce gets too thick, stir in a few tablespoons of water until the desired consistency is reached.
Remove the chicken from the oven to a cutting board and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Slice into 1/2-inch strips and toss it into the sauce. Keep warm.
To serve, arrange the hot blini on a serving platter and top with the tandoori chicken. Garnish with scallions and serve.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the ricotta, eggs, and milk until combined. Whisk the flour mixture into the ricotta mixture until incorporated, then stir in the scallions.
Heat a griddle over medium-low heat until hot. Lightly brush with butter, then drop heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the griddle. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and edges of the blini start to dry, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the blini and cook until the underside is golden brown, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.
This recipe was created by a contestant during a cooking competition. It has not been tested for home use.

GUCCI — Legacy of Tom Ford
What does it take to be museum-worthy? Perhaps transforming one of the world's most coveted fashion brands and making a unique contribution to the sartorial culture of the 21st century is a sure sign way to be immortalized. Or at least the Italian luxury house Gucci seems to think so, as they have dedicated two of its rooms in its Florence museum to former Creative Director Tom Ford, memorializing the way in which he ushered the label into the modern era.
Ford arrived at Gucci in the 90s, taking the reigns of the celebrated yet struggling Italian brand that was confined to a storied and conventional past. He stepped into the role during a time when many would not; speculation ran rife that the fashion house was unraveling at the seams with leadership and financial troubles, adding to the desperation of needing a reboot.
Seeing this as an opportunity to completely overhaul the brand and shed the heavy, outdated burden of what Gucci once was, Ford was ready to steer the brand into the 21st century with his sensuous approach that produced a series of celebrated collections-- featuring sleek tailoring and retro 70s glamour, allowing the classic fashion house to return its position as a fashion frontrunner as well as securing "the most directional designer in Milan" title for Ford.
Both of the two rooms at Gucci Museo were curated by Ford's hand-picked protégé—Gucci's current Creative Director Alessandro Michele—whose aim was to represent Ford's aesthetic for the House in the 90s and early part of this century. These outfits and accessories are symbolic of collections that were hugely influential in the world of fashion at the time, and which, by shaking-up the established conventions of the industry, genuinely challenged ideas of what fashion could be through uninhibited self-expression.
The first of the two Tom Ford rooms at the Gucci Museo showcases his infamous accessories. The colour palette begins with mauve lilac matelassé coats the walls and billows dramatically across the ceiling while siphoning off at the cherry red carpet. Here, these historical relics of fashion's past include familiar items such as bags and shoes, as well as those products from the Ford era that became notorious, like the Gucci GG G-string, handcuffs and dog collar.
His second room features his ready-to-wear collections, revealing the free-spirit of his inner provocateur with vibrant cherry reds seductively swathed from carpet to ceiling and sensual orchids enveloping the crowd of mannequins, all wearing his most critically acclaimed pieces.
Though Ford has since moved on to begin his wildly successful eponymous label Tom Ford, his creations at Gucci are heralded as the most impactful statements of fashion to grace runways of Gucci during the 90s, if not the fashion landscape as a whole. Now, with much thanks (or molte grazie) to Gucci Museo, legions of fans and casual observers can admire his legacy and contributions to fashion culture for years and years to come.
The Gucci Museo is at Piazza della Signoria, 10, 50122 Firenze, Italy

Test Kits
The Manufacturer PRIMA Lab SA is a dynamic Swiss Company, highly focused on the international market. Thanks to its specific know-how and to the wide experience of its team, it offers high quality products of attested reliability, accordingly to the most strict qualitative international standards. The products, currently both on European and extra-European countries, have been studied and tested in eminent private institutes, hospitals and universities in order to comply to the specific clients requirements (pharmacists, doctors, patients, etc.).
The main focus is the preventive diagnostics developed for the most common pathologies. The solutions can be suggested and managed by different professionals. In a world where people are always more and more involved in the payment for their health and they're more informed and in some way more advanced under the scientific-sanitary profile, they become themselves supporters of their well-being. In virtue of this enhanced awareness, it's the public himself to ask to the utmost reference people – the pharmacist and the doctor – services and specific products in order to satisfy le new needs not only concerning the care but above all on the prevention. The pharmacists together with the general pratictioners and specialists (such as nutritionists, gynecologists, urologists, cardiologists, etc.) have a key role in the promotion of the active prevention, even as an excellent way to decrease the global health expenditure: PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE (and actually it costs less!!).
The widest variety of pathologies – to start from the ones most widespread such as the ones regarding the cardiovascular, thyroid and prostatic areas to the ones caused by bacteria of difficult eradication such as Tetanus or Helicobacter pylori – has been contemplated measuring the parameters than can detect their presence and allow their screening. PRIMA Lab SA provides its diagnostic instruments for:
- patients with the self-testing kits, easy to use and with very quick results reading;
- medical analysis laboratories and specialistic institutes with professional Point of Care instruments;
- pharmacies with instruments Point of Care certified for the self-testing usage.
The Company put in the highest degree the quality at all levels:
- Techology and raw materials:
we collaborate only with Italian and European suppliers complying with the strictest quality certifications and we carefully monitor every production step.
- Professionality:
in the customer service and in the post-sales assistance.
- Innovation
we anticipate times and needs developing specific products complying with the needs of a wide variety of people with convenient and concrete solutions.
PREVENTION is the Company main focus.
Generally speaking, the prevention is performed in order to promote people health, looking for prematurely the risk factors and detecting the pathologies at the aim to guarantee a better life expectancy and to identify proper assistance and rehabilitative pathways. However, the prevention usually is disregarded molto since it's surpassed by a clinical research still highly based on the illness cure. To prevent implies an overall view, also considering the people life style and therefore implying the individual and collective behavior. In order to do that, it's important to 'educate' instead of 'visit' people; it's fundamental to make people aware that their actions and choices influence their own health, by a cultural change in their everyday life. Considering all the prevention actions included in our day routine and, therefore, automatically performed since long tome ascertained: the car servicing, the car inspection, etc.
At the same way, also prevention as diagnostics can become a daily action and a very good way to monitor the state of health of our body in order to preserve our well-being.

The Carolina Hurricanes have talked a lot this season about sticking to the process and attending to all the details in games.
Short shifts. Gap control. Getting pucks deep. Quick line changes. Protecting the "house."
That approach served the Canes well in their recent 4-0-1 run at home. But a poor line change Saturday led to a 4-2 road loss to the St. Louis Blues at the Scottrade Center.
The Blues' Alexander Steen, suddenly alone with the puck on the right wing, blasted a blocker-side shot past Canes goalie Justin Peters to give St. Louis a 3-2 lead in the third period. That came after the Canes had scored twice shorthanded -- the goals coming from Eric Staal and Nathan Gerbe -- in a 57-second span during a second-period St. Louis power play.
Teams rarely score two "shorties" in the same game and lose, or at least not come away with a point. But the Canes did in falling to 8-8-4.
"We got caught on a bad line change and that was the difference," Canes captain Eric Staal said. "It was a tight-checking game and 2-2 going into the third, and you felt the next one was going to be the one. The guy who's pretty hot right now, you don't want him to have that type of look and he did."
Steen leads the NHL in goals (17) and points (26). Peters thought Steen would try to beat him glove-side and shifted in that direction toward the short side, only to have Steen rip one to the far side.
"I thought he was going high glove," Peters said. "He made a good shot."
Added Canes coach Kirk Muller: "That was a big blow for us."
Canes winger Alexander Semin left the game after taking a big shoulder hit from the Blues' Alex Pietrangelo early in the second period. Semin, who appeared to be hit near the shoulder and chin, was taken to the dressing room, returned to briefly play but then left the game again.
Muller did not have an update on Semin after the game. Nor would he say if he believed the Pietrangelo hit should be reviewed by the NHL for a possible fine or suspension.
After a scoreless first, the Blues jumped in front 2-0 in the second on goals by Roman Polak and David Backes. With the Canes coming off a tough home game Friday against the Anaheim Ducks, it appeared the Blues might have made a decisive, winning move.
The Canes then were called for too many men on the ice and the Blues went to the power play. And gave up two goals.
Manny Malhotra forced a turnover by Steen at the Canes' blue line and passed to Staal, who beat Blues goalie Brian Elliott with a backhander. Elliott then came out of net and toward the corner, only to be pressured by Riley Nash and have Gerbe grab the loose puck in the slot and score.
The two shorthanded goals came in the shortest time span since Kevyn Adams and Chad LaRose scored twice in 51 seconds on Nov. 11, 2006.
"They were taking it to us pretty good and we turned things around by some great individual efforts," Peters said.
But the Canes couldn't finish in the third. Another Canes mistake -- an elbowing penalty against Jay Harrison on Pietrangelo with 1:12 left in regulation -- put St. Louis back on the power play and T.J. Oshie scored an empty-netter at the end.
The Canes managed just 16 even-strength shots and 20 in all in the game, four by Gerbe. Mike Komisarek again was in the lineup and used at forward.
"I thought our effort was there, our compete level was there," Staal said. "We came back and battled in the second. We had some life, had some energy, had some jump. Unfortunately we got caught there."
The Canes returned to Raleigh after the game and face the Boston Bruins on Monday at PNC Arena. Then it's back on the road for games at Detroit and Boston.

We have a system that tracks changes in the appointments of other applicants, allowing us to find a slot for you.

However, we cannot promise specific dates, especially those that fall on a Saturday. It still depends on the availability of appointments.

It's always a treat when actresses are cajoled into rapping a few lines from a song, and Amanda Seyfried is the latest star to join the club whose prestigious members include Gwyneth Paltrow, Sandra Bullock and Anne Hathaway.
We've heard the 28-year-old's vocal abilities in "Les Misérables" and "Mamma Mia!" but she was apparently game to try to show up her former co-star Hugh Jackman, who previously rapped along to Meridian Dan's "German Whip" during a recent visit to BBC Radio 1xtra. Betting that she could rap better than Jackman, the actress decided to spit out a few lines from 5ive's "It's All Over."
Is Seyfried's rap game better than Jackman's? We'll leave that up to you to decide.

Episode 11: Some Splainin' to Do (Bonus Episode 1)
Surprise! It's a bonus episode! But don't get too excited, we're not continuing the story. Mikkel sits down with you and tells you a bit about his history with tabletop RPGs, explains the what and why of Pathfinder, and defines a few terms that have been used in earlier episodes. Not recommended for ASMR listening. Seriously, that would be bad.
Featuring: Mikkel Sandberg (@mikkelhsandberg).
Music: "Time Drift" by Cloud Revolution.

Earlier this year, Cautious Clay emerged into the scene with his self-produced single titled "Cold War." Following up with "Joshua Tree," the New York artist continues to impress with his tender sound.
Germany's Soulection representative IAMNOBODI recently unveiled his own spin of "Cold War." The fresh flip is just as enjoyable as the original, accentuating Clay's serene vocals with sparse piano chords and trickling percussion. The duo combines their talents to create a truly emotional journey through a forest that'll have you vibing along.
Stream IAMNOBODI's remix of "Cold War" below.

Maybe you and I need a little education on the original Syndicate games. Maybe there's something to love in 2012's Syndicate for those of you still enjoying the 1993 original? Maybe this trailer will clear things up for both of us!
As wary as you might be about a FPS Syndicate reboot, Starbreeze will certainly be delivering on the first person combat. Even it doesn't live up to the name, I'd imagine the game will justify itself. Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was great!

Newly released documents reveal that administrators at UC Davis spent at least $175,000 to scrub the Internet of photos of university police pepper spraying students during an Occupy movement demonstration on campus in 2011.
The documents suggest that that university administrators paid a public relations firm $15,000 per month to help clean up their online image after a 2011 incident in which a university police officer used pepper spray to remove students from a blocked-off pathway. The incident sparked a national conversation about the militarization of police and the appropriate use of pepper spray by law enforcement.
The images from the incident at UC Davis rapidly spread online and throughout mainstream media, sending administrators scrambling to save the university's reputation. In 2013, they signed an agreement with public relations firm Nevins & Associates to clean up the university's online image.
In a six-page proposal, Nevins & Associates specifically claims that they'd be able to repair damage done by the pepper spray incident in 2011: "Nevins & Associates is prepared to create and execute an online branding campaign designed to clean up the negative attention the University of California, Davis, and Chancellor Katehi have received related to the events that transpired in November 2011."
The proposal claimed that negative online commentary about UC Davis and university chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi would slowly be removed from search engine results: "Online evidence and the venomous rhetoric about UC Davis and the Chancellor are being filtered through the 24-hour news cycle, but it is at a tepid pace."
Sacramento public affairs consultant Doug Elmets claims that this incident "is one more example of how out of touch the leadership at UC Davis is when it comes to their public perspective."
Although UC Davis spokesperson Dana Topousis claims that their administrators "have worked to ensure that the reputation of the University, which the chancellor leads, is fairly portrayed," Katehi has come under significant criticism for trying to erase an event in the school's history that might make them susceptible to legitimate criticism.
Students have occupied the space outside of chancellor Katehi's office since March 11 and plan to remain there until Katehi resigns. The student protesters have slept in the office for the past several weeks and have even arranged shifts, so that a group of students will always remain in the office even when others have to go to class.
Although UC President Janet Napolitano claims that she won't ask Katehi to step down from her position as chancellor, it seems that between increasing media attention and increased pressure from students, she may be forced to consider the option.

Fighter Jet Rides in Rhineland-Palatinate
After fighter jet rides were hardly available due to changes in the regulation (apart from the Czech L-39, the Polish MiG-15 and the Swiss Hunters, the jets were grounded in 2012), it became once again possible to operate jets in a reasonable and sustainable way. We are proud to offer you the first L-39 with a new immatriculation under EASA law. And the jet fighter ride over Eifel in West Germany is available every day- weekdays and weekend.
It is also an extremely attractive location. As in Czech Republic, Poland and Switzerland, the flight takes place from a former military airbase. You'll fly with a very experienced jet pilot. He learned to fly the L-39 with the famous display team Vyazma Rus. Just as all pilots that fly with our customers, he's also an instructor in case you are yourself a pilot and interested in a type rating.
The L-39 Albatros is a very attractive jet for unforgettable fighter jet rides. The view from the backseat is very good due to a higher seat position - and the jet is nice and easy to fly for inexperienced customers. The L-39 is well-known and popular from the Breitling Jet Team, James Bond and the Reno Air Race. It is comparably cheap to operate. Therefore costs for an L-39 jet ride are reasonable compared to supersonic jet flights.
Fighter Jet Ride over the Eifel
As always with MiGFlug, the jet fighter ride over southwestern North Rhine-Westphalia is simply incredible:
- Rolls
- Immelman
- Looping
- Split-S
- sporty climbing and vertical diving
- Tail-Chase
- If possible: High speed low pass over the airport runway
If the pilot will agree, you will get the chance to control the jet yourself for a while during the flight, at a high altitude level. The whole event has a duration of 3 hours. If you are a bigger group, preparations like safety training, flight system training and briefing can be done together. In that case the additional duration will be around 45min per person. Events with up to 8 flying participants per day (and unlimited spectators) are possible here.
You will start from a Cold War era US Air Base
During the era of the Cold War, the Airbase in the South Eifel was a US military airbase and home of the 36th Fighter Wing. From 1952 until 1994, the following jets operated from here: F-84 Thunderjet, F-86 Sabre, F-100 C/F Super Sabre, F-105 D/F Thunderchief, F-4 D Phantom II, F-15 A/B Eagle and F-15 C/D. Furthermore, it was home base of the famous display team Skyblazers, flying the F-100 C Super Sabre.
The Spangdahlem Air Base is an important airbase for the US Air Force up to today. A part of the 3rd Air Force is still operating from Spangdahlem Air Force base - along with Ramstein - and is home to the 52nd Fighter Wing with its F-16 C/D Fighting Falcon. Until 2013 it was home to the A-10 Thunderbolt as well.
About the Aircraft
The L-39 is our smallest and least expensive jet aircraft, and is available at numerous locations. It is a training aircraft that can also be used to engage ground targets. The L-39 impresses with good maneuverability and excellent visibility from both seats in the cockpit. Very good performance at sub sonic speeds make the L-39 jet the ideal aircraft to experience a cost effective flight in a real fighter aircraft.
Relatively easy to fly, good flight characteristics, excellent view from both seats, maximum g-load up to +8/-4G
No supersonic flights possible

"Our Journey" is a public art composition by internationally recognized sculptor, Bill Starke, and represents one of the more important additions to public art in the City of Orlando. Located at the nation's first NBA arena to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver new construction certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, the work includes eight hand-sculpted life-size human figures interacting with each other and the environment in a story of achievement. It is a reflection of people setting goals, being in action, making choices that work and don't work, helping others and being helped, exploring the unknown, and of doing the work required to make dreams come true. Victoria, co-founder of BOBOSART, developed and administered the calls for artists, facilitated the artist selection processes and contracts, provided design services for artwork, art lighting, and engineering, coordinated design integration issues, and managed the project's complete progression from concept vision to final installation.
BOBOSART also designed a unique program for working with youth from the nearby Parramore community on the theme "Finding My Way." Through a series of eight workshops in four community centers located in the Parramore Kids Zone, Victoria's team of artists worked with underprivileged kids to produce over 150 artworks. Artist Marcos Cruz, a local and emerging artist who works internationally, engraved every child's artwork onto architecturally integrated sculpture that he designed aesthetically to reveal the children's artworks subtly as visitors approach the elevators of the arena's parking garage, to reference the architecture, to establish a relationship with Starke's exterior art, and to be aligned with the color palette for parking garage way finding.

In its first Global Services Forecast, Airbus has predicted that the number of new pilots needed by the year 2035 will top 560,000.
"The marker for air travel will grow 4.5% per year on average for the next 20 years," explained Bob Lange, Head of Market and Product services at the aircraft manufacturing giant. This means that Airbus will see more than 33,000 passenger and cargo aircraft delivered over that period, an increase of about 600 over what the company predicted last year.
The airframer confirmed that by the close of Farnborough International Airshow, it had increased net orders this year to 380 aircraft. The release from Airbus stated that its 11 training centres, with more being added, will support the need for qualified pilots, cabin crew and maintenance staff available to support the arrival of thousands of new aircraft into the airlines' fleets.
